GWAR’s Dave Brockie Died Of Accidental Heroin Overdose

By Thomas Cowley

The State Medical Examiner’s Office has come back with the official cause of death for GWAR founder and frontman Dave Brockie: acute heroin toxicity. In layman’s terms, that is an accidental heroine overdose.

When Brockie was found by his roommate on March 23rd in Richmond Virginia, police found evidence of heroine use in the singers home, yet would not cite that as the official cause of death without further investigation.
